Domspeak Forums Discussions Off Topic & Politics Should MSM be Held Accountable?

Like most, I'm all for free speech. I'm also not a fan of over regulating. But, the media has gotten so out of control. They've been exposed to suppress information, report rumor as fact, work with government agencies in what and how to report and weave their personal views in as facts. Too many stories that turn out to be false are never addressed or, so quietly so, that the average American probably misses it. We all probably agree this is deliberate. They've become activists instead of unbiased news agencies. Should there be standards and legal consequences for their behavior?

YES! There should be a stiff penalty for lying to the people, whether it is out of carelessness or deliberate manipulation. The first offense should be 5 years in prison with no early release. By prison, I don't mean the white collar low security ones. Send these assholes to hardcore prison and the people who were involved or complicit.

I agree there should be standards the media is held to. It is unlikely that will happen. I could be wrong on this. Someone, please correct me if so. I believe that Obama passed a bill that allows government to censor the press. They may be within their rights to manipulate what is released to the public. If that is the case, the bill should be reversed.

I can't disagree with your sentiment. But, this is coming from the top of government down. It has to be the people who demands accountability.

I don't think they are "activists" I believe they are propagandists....

MSM and these politicians are one and the same....They are all on the same team and it's the same game....Power and Control over the masses. Have you ever noticed that on every single MSM show (whether it's Hannity, Cooper, Rachel Maddow or whoever) a conga line of politicians are ALWAYS the guests?

Again I am not trying to get all religious and I am not trying to teach a philosophy class....I am just stating my opinions.

Btw,

They are ALL controlled by the same Big Money and Corporate figures......They are one and the same....

P.S.

Have you also ever noticed how so many ex politicians actually become news hosts on these networks? Not only ex politicians but anyone who served in one administration or another....Or one government agency or another.......It's ALL the same team....

After they finished lying to you as a politician they become a news host and make bigger money lying to you....

Don't mind me I am just ranting now..

Your "Rant" makes sense to me. This day and age reminds me of the movie, The Hunger Games. Have you seen it?
